Dose - Most acid ever taken

Hey, I have wondered for quite a while what the most acid ever taken in 1 sitting by a single person was, and what the effects of the acid would be like at this level. Also, whats the most acid you have ever taken?

Most I have eaten in 1 stitting: 20 - she is in the habit of putting a ten strip between the teeth and gums one for the bottom and one for the top.
Most I have eaten in 1 day: 40 - Seemed like alot when she thought about it but it was over the course of a very long day at the Further show in West Palm.

One tab is good enough for swim. Every 2 weeks I go ahead and takes 1, maybe another half of blotter.

One tab of swims is good enough for color visuals, most definitly laughter. Last time he seen one of his friends morphed into something egyptian it was so beautiful, it had gold and blue all around it, i don't think i took one that night lol. :cry:

I am also clumsy on acid, idk just retarded not retarded retarded but when I am doing something with friends its just confusing and sometimes laughing drifts it away so its nothing to worry about.

A: The physical danger of ingesting LSD at normal doses is quite low. There are two reported deaths from unusually high doses documented in medical journals.

The first, which is mentioned in Psychedelics Encyclopedia by Peter Stafford, is discussed in a 1977 Journal of the Kentucky Medical Association article. In this case, "the quantity of LSD in the blood indicated that 320 mg (320,000 micrograms) had been injected intravenously" under the mistaken idea it was speed. The amount (320mg) was an estimate by the authors of the article and not based on direct knowledge of how much was taken.

The second reported death, for which there is toxicological data but no details about the circumstances leading up to the death (ingested dose is not known, though post-death blood levels are), is documented in a 1985 Forensic Science International paper. Unfortunately, so little is documented in the article that it is hard to say much about this event.

There are a handful of other reports of serious problems (but not death) caused by very large doses. One person who took 40 mg survived. Another report outlines the case of a group of eight individuals who snorted large quantities of powdered LSD on the mistaken assumption that it was cocaine... all survived. See the LSD Dose page for details.

Estimates of the half-lethal human dose -- the dose at which half of the participants would die -- vary widely, with different calculations extrapolated from animal data putting it anywhere from 12 mg to 5+ grams.

Massive overdoses are possible only in cases where a person has access to manufacture- or distribution-level amounts of material; the average LSD user is unlikely to ever come in contact with such high doses.

I have tripped harder off 1/2 of a 4 way pink flamingo, when he had no tolerance, than he has off 5-6 hits taken at once, when he had tolerance. With tolerance the, multiple hits hardly effected SWIM.

Without tolerance, on lower but still decent doses, I have learned the secrets of the universe (temporarily until he came down), and the horrors of the universe (thankfully, temporarily, till he came down)

Swim hates to see heroic dosing threads. If the OP has a specific question such as the LD50 of the substance, then ask. Asking about the maximum amount of LSD that people have taken is at best a dicksizing contest and at worst dangerously encouraging a stupid acid eating competition. Normal dosages range from 20ug to 400ug. The substance has proven relatively safe at these dosages. Swim says stick to something around this range, please.

Good call Runitsthe police. Taking drugs should never be a dicksizing contest. SWIM sometimes forgets she is older and been doing this longer than some of the SWIMmers out there. Please forgive her if her post came off that way. Your post made her realize her error. For the record I say she would lose any dicksizing contest as hers is so tiny.

I did not mean for this thread to turn into harmful information which would encourage people to ingest large amounts of LSD. I agree with runitsthepolice's post and also agree that it should not be taken outside of the dosage which have been proven safe. SWIM only posted this question out of pure curiousity and should have specified his intent along with the question.

also, this seems like a trivial post since very few people even know if its actually LSD they are consuming when they dose, and even fewer know there doses. 10 hits of Georges purple star acid may be equal in total amount of LSD to 4 of Susans Window pane, which may also be equal to 1 of Bobs liquid. Also, george may sell some of his acid to someone who in turn sells the original 10 hits as 12 hits, so its really arbitrary to compare LSD like this.

To get a breakthrough psychedelic experience for SWIM where he seems to reach a definite realization point, about 1500 mics is a great dose of pure needlepoint/fluff, but this can sometimes be adjusted by 500 mics (1000-2000) depending on the situation, the purity, the state of mind he is in, and the length since his last dose. Going too much above this without having used regularly can sometimes cause him to have an incredible trip, but he may be locked inside of his head, and not aware of the experience his outer body is going through, which is unsafe unless in a totally safe place with friends to look after him, just in case. Blacking out to the outside world tends to happen with too much higher than this, especially when he hasn't used in weeks or longer.. As for his highest dose, he posted that in another similar thread a long time ago.. Take note I am definitely considered a hardhead by all who know him..

SWIM knew a few dudes that ate a whole sheet over the course of a day. The idiots tore the entire house apart (I mean, they ripped all the walls out and everything!), and ruined a very nice vintage Camaro. That car never did go back together. I have seen some stupid things in his time, but that had to have been pretty near the top of the list. :applause:
I have lost track of how much he's taken before. If you lose track of how much you ate, I think it's pretty safe to say you're about as far gone as you can be. (<

Vitamin Airplane added 3 Minutes and 12 Seconds later...

BTW, SWIM knew exactly what he was getting. He had a very good LSD 25 connection. I used to get vials from the source. So clean, you could practically go to sleep watching spirals when you came down.

Vitamin Airplane added 2 Minutes and 53 Seconds later...

And yes, you guys are right. This is a pointless question, since there's no way to really measure how much you're taking.

Alright, my never tried lsd before but he is going to soon, he has been preparing his mind for weeks for his upcoming foray into the realm of psychedelics as well. The set is taken care of and the setting as well, he plans to dose with a freind of his who has also never taken acid. Said freinds uncle, who has tripped hundreds of times will be their sitter and supplier so the acid is definetly going to be acid and will be good as well. The session will take place in a room of the uncles house he has specially designed for acid tests, with a surround sound speaker system, lasers, comfortable chairs, cool art and probably the biggest and widest selection of music you could think of. SWIM and freind plan to take 2 hits each, and I was wondering if this seems like a good starting dose. Many will probably say that is a little high but he has been mentally preparing for about a month now, and has experienced SLIGHT visuals and hallucinations after a glorious 4:20 party in which him and the same freind he plans to drop with smoked A LOT of REALLY GOOD weed, so the onslaught of sensory overload will not be a TOTALLY new experience. So I was just wondering if he should take less or if some people believe he could handle more.

You should not dose himself with LSD in those terms, you shouldn't strive for the most you can do without having an awful experience, 2 hits could be very strong for a first timer, I would be cautious and begin with just one and maybe redose after around two hours if You is liking it, but ultimately it is up to swiy. Be safe.

I think it'll be just fine leary, especially if the experienced uncle knows how good the doses are. If one wants to be very cautious, take one, but two tabs, even strong ones, will probably be fine for most people in a comfortable environment. With lots of commonly found real LSD, 100 mics is about the most an average hit is, which is a good dose, and if it is 100 and one takes two, it should be a full experience, without being very overwhelming, unless the person is extremely sensitive. If one has experience with cannabis or mushrooms, it'll most likely be very enjoyable and manageable. I am an experienced user but also a hard head, and thinks that two for a first dose of most LSD he's seen available is enough to trip very well, without being overwhelming for the more novice ones. Any more than two for someone with no experience may get a bit much, but SWIM usually would rather a nice experience, than a tease. With that being said, if the uncle thinks two would be a nice first dose, than I would probably take that advice, if he suggests one for a newbie, then go with one. One more thing is that cannabis during an LSD trip can greatly intensify the effects, and may want to be refrained from for the first couple hours until one is definitely comfortable with the trip. I have seen people trip on pretty low to high doses and only once weed was introduced even hours into the trip, did the people begin to get a little freaked out, so if youou's new, best to take it slow with the mixtures.

I amn't too much of a psychedelic drug user so the most LSD he has eaten was two hits. And even from this he didn't like the drug very much. Although he has many friends who would eat a ten strip just to get started.

Thanks CrookedEye, and I did for get to mention in his post he has experienced mushrooms once and greatly enjoyed the experience, even though almost no visuals/fractals were seen, just the feeling he says was undescribable . But again SWIM thanks you for the advice and encouragement. And he has consulted the uncle about the dose and he agrees 2 would be a good start for someone in My condition.

That's strange. SWIM and everyone I have ever known cannot even feel the effects of weed on acid. Only once, has SWIM ever felt like weed has done anything, and that was just because it was some unique LSD, or something. Otherwise, SWIM considers it a complete waste to even smoke it while tripping. In fact, that's a topic that has come up among My friends and I many times...the fear, what if you could never get stoned again?! :s It's best to save your pot for when you're coming down, or the next day, ISO.
